    Read all his books. the man is a god of literature and humor and it will be a crying shame for the world to lose this man's boundless talent,

      I've never met the bloke. I'm not related. I don't know if I even know anybody that has met him.

      But I don't want it to be true.

      I'm not looking forward to the day when I have to stop waiting for his next book to come out. I'll miss that feeling: it has been a small but persistent part of me for many years.

      Still, cheer up! The bugger's not dead yet!

        Pretty much all of us will come to a bad end?

          Still, just so long as Malcolm Middleton's 'We're All Going To Die' gets to be the Xmas Number One, I don't care.

            I met him once in Norwich when he was doing a book signing and he was as nice as you would expect.
            I started reading his discworld books from day 1 and look forward to reading the rest of his books when they appear.
            It's Deja-vu all over again!

              Most shoplifted author ever apparently. Only read a couple, mort being my favourite. Love the idea of death going for a curry.
